He felt the property <br /> 24 owners should perhaps consider removing the shrubs and bushes . <br /> 25 <br /> 26 Urbia advised that the property owner can be requested to <br /> 27 remove these shrubs if they are in the right-of-way or <br /> interfere with traffic sight lines . He did feel the bushes may <br /> look closer to the corner than they actually *are because of <br /> 30 the construction in the area . <br /> 31 <br /> 32 Chair Faust advised there should be a letter sent to the <br /> 33 property owners if it is found these shrubs do pose a problem <br /> 34 for visibility. <br /> 35 <br /> 36 Motion carried unanimously <br /> 37 <br /> 38 Chair Faust advised this item will be on the agenda for the <br /> 39 August 10th Council meeting and the property owners were <br /> 40 encouraged to attend. <br /> 41 <br /> 4.2 <br /> 43 6 .
